Celebrated Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds seems to be closing off this year in a high. After delivering a huge hit with his Marvel movie Deadpool, he is now named as the Entertainer of the Year for 2016 by Entertainment Weekly.

"I hate to sound overly sentimental, but I had a good year," Reynolds said in a statement after receiving the honour.

He continued saying, "When asked if he had any inkling that Deadpool would be huge of a success as it was, Reynolds told EW, "No way. I knew that this was going to speak to the very core of the Deadpool fan base, and I knew they would embrace it."

"I think it just really landed at a fortunate time. We were right at 'peak superhero,' particularly in the sense that the superheroes were all intermittingly clenching their jaw muscles and brooding. Deadpool came along and sort of threw all that on its ass." Said the Deadpool actor.

Deadpool producer Simon Kinberg has also showered praise on Ryan Reynolds for his performance in Deadpool.

"He is Deadpool in a way that I have not ever quite seen an actor be and create a character, the humor, the tone, the pathos came from Ryan in a very organic and almost unconscious way." Simon Kinberg said.
